The product is small but I found it bright enough to be placed near my Nook to read during a power outage. I also place it on top or in front of a mirror and use it as a nightlight to navigate around sleeping dogs during power outage. For the price, it is a fabulous deal - the batteries are more expensive (always buy on sale...).

Got these to have a few more emergency type lights in case of power loss. Very small lights, but seem to light a large area. No idea how long the batteries will last, but guessing as long as any other light. I'd recommend them.

True the lanterns are smaller than I thought they would be but give off lots of bright light. I intend to hang them on my enclosed front porch more or less as a porch light at night since the porch doesnt have any light on it at all. Will also use them in case of power failures.
